A man in orange saffron robes sits cross-legged in meditation with eyes closed on a low wooden seat atop a mat and cushion, hands resting in a mudra on his knees. He wears a leopard-print shawl over his shoulders and a long rudraksha mala around his neck, with a red bindi on his forehead and long hair tied back. Behind him stands a large black Nandi bull statue draped with orange and yellow marigold garlands and a white-and-red sash, set on a tiered orange stone pedestal. Small red flower petals lie on the mat, a brass vessel sits at the left edge, and dark stone deity statues stand in the blurred background among green trees.
